Miss Cleo, right on time, started showing signs of early labor on Monday afternoon. Digging in her blankets, being generally uncomfortable and panting/shivering on and off. We try to give our girls space, and so I have a camera on them that I can watch from the next room. I see all kinds of things like them burying themselves in blankets, or looking at the camera, or sitting panting.

At 1:15am I felt things were getting close and so I went and lay down beside her on the bed we have in the whelping room. Sure enough by 1:45 she was pushing with intention and at 1:53 we had our first baby born – a boy 9.65oz

Baby #2 was born at 2:38am – a girl who was 10.35oz

Baby #3 was born at 2:48am – another girl – this one 9.4oz

Baby #4 was born at 3:29 – another boy – he was 10.35oz

Our final baby arrived at 3:38am – a 9.3oz boy.

Cleo did so well and settled right into motherhood nursing them and cleaning them wonderfully. All of the pups are strong and healthy and mama is doing awesome. I am so happy.

We are so thrilled to have co-bred this litter with Malia from Wanderlust beagles as she steps into her new role as a “breeder” of her first litter. I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor new breeders and then watch them fly into their own <3
